I've eaten at Lombardino's a number of times since I moved to Madison in 1998. When you enter the restaurant it looks like an old school Midwestern style Sicilian place, but the food transcends. Tuscan style cuisine with a focus on locally available ingredients, it has never disappointed. I've heard the original was average but a local favorite. It's anything but average now and I consider one of the best upscale dining experiences in Madison. Still a local favorite, reservations are essentail. Has a nice bar for waiting though.
